It Was All Stouts at Stuffed Sandwich

February 5th, 2008 – 11:16 am

Dropped in at Stuffed Sandwich a couple weeks ago for lunch, and they had nothing but stouts on tap. Old Rasputin, Stone Russian Imperial, Bison Chocolate, Moylan’s Dry, Barney Flats, and Speedway (yum yum) were still flowing while I was there, but once they dry up, they’re gone (*update: they are on to Barleywines. […]

Vendome Toluca Lake

December 21st, 2007 – 2:44 pm

I have very few reasons to ever go to the valley, but today I add one very good reason to the list, Vendome Toluca Lake.
This Vendome stands apart from it’s sister stores in Beverly Hills and Studio City because the staff here actually cares about beer. They are knowledgeable on their selection, frequently holding […]

Beverage Warehouse: The Place To Go To Buy Celebration and Anchor Xmas

December 14th, 2007 – 2:23 pm

Its hard to believe. When I was at Wine House the other day I found a great selection of Christmas beers, but they seemed to be all out of Sierra Nevada Celebration. Not a problem for Beverage Warehouse, they are rolling in the stuff.

Needless to say, Beverage Warehouse is a great place to […]

Christmas Beers at Wine House: Get Them While You Can

December 13th, 2007 – 1:00 pm

If you are looking for your Christmas beer fix, get over to Wine House as soon as possible, their Belgians are selling like hot cakes.
Pictured below: Affligem Noel, Val-Dieu Winter, De La Senne Equinox, Slapmutske Kerstmutske, Kerkom Winterkoninkske, Scaldis Noel, La Choulette De Noel.
I picked up some Equinox and La Choulette, but I’ve heard the […]

Once We Got to Echo Park It Was All Downhill

August 17th, 2007 – 1:35 pm

Welp, the first annual Great LA Beer Run came and went and I think everyone involved agrees it was a great success.
We started off at the Highland Park Gold Line stop. After a bit of meet and greet, name tags, and sunscreen, the first place we hit was the Rock ‘n’ Roll 7-Eleven on […]

The Great LA Beer Run: Le Grand Crew Tour ‘007

August 6th, 2007 – 9:35 pm

When was the last time you rode your bike to go beer shopping? Probably been a while. Admit it, you never walk anywhere in LA. Well this Saturday, August 11th, you have the opportunity to get off your duff and visit not one, not two, but five of the best beer stores […]

Mr. Dave Goes to BevMo!

May 24th, 2007 – 12:11 pm

I’ve always been a bit wary of stepping foot inside of BevMo! First of all, they seem like an evil franchise, like the Wal Mart of booze or something. On top of that, I’ve become wary of exclamation points after my negative experience with Eureka! Amber. But somehow the stars aligned […]

Pagliari’s Liquor, On the Corner Across From Library

May 12th, 2007 – 6:40 pm

Seeing as how its right across the street from Library Alehouse, I guess its no surprise that Pagliari’s has a great selection of beer.
Right now they have 5 different six packs of New Belgium; Mothership Wit, 1554, Skinny Dip, Springboard, and of course, Fat Tire. Three types of Sierra Nevada, which is two more […]

Ralph’s on Lincoln, Across from Bay Cities

April 19th, 2007 – 11:47 am

Its overwhelming how much beer they have here. I guess its not that surprising considering the overall size of the store. I would hate getting groceries here, its just too big. Helpful hint: the beer is in the front, to the right.
Great for picking up a six pack of something new for […]
